Blennerhassett Cashel
was a
"railway clerk"

1869 to 1872.
Mallow
was a GSWR station at this time.
He lived in Mallow town, on Main St and later on New St (both some distance from the station).

was station master
at
Parsonstown (now Birr),
Co.Offaly,
1877 to 1878.
Parsonstown station (now closed)
was a GSWR station at this time.
He may have lived at the station.
4 of his children died in 1878 when he was in Parsonstown.

Note also on the map above a house called "Railview Cottage", on Military Rd.
Wonder if this is the station master's house.
Blennerhassett Cashel is listed as living in "Seefin", the townland to the SE of Parsonstown town
(see pre-railway map).
This would fit Railview Cottage better than the station.
Railview Cottage is clearly inside Seefin townland.
While Parsonstown station seems to be just outside it, in Drumbane townland.

Parsonstown (Birr) railway station (now closed and converted into houses).
The old platform still exists. The tracks are now a garden.
